Chapter 207 - Fierce battle under the city
He Jin was defeated, and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly soared, and at this time, Zhang Jiao ordered the army to launch a general attack.
The sound of drums is like a tide, urging the fighting spirit to be raised, and the sound of killing is like a curse, and Shuo Shuo is pressing the hearts of the people. In the face of the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, He Jin hurriedly commanded the forbidden army to set up a protective battle formation and defend the east of the imperial capital, while the Yellow Turban Army attacking the north, west and south of the city was resisted by the armies of the princes.
Zhang Jiao knew that the main force guarding the imperial capital belonged to the forbidden army in the northern city, and the troops of those princes were completely stragglers, so Zhang Jiao concentrated the main force of the Yellow Turban in the northern city, and wanted to fight to the death with the forbidden army, although even if it was the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, its combat effectiveness was much worse than that of the forbidden army, but the number of the Yellow Turban Army was dozens of times that of the forbidden army, so Zhang Jiao was completely confident that he could destroy this elite forbidden army with only 10,000 people, even if it was a sacrifice of many Yellow Turban soldiers.
At the beginning of the war, the Yellow Turban Army violently attacked this forbidden army of 10,000 people, but the forbidden army that formed a protective battle array, the defensive power was very amazing, and the shield soldiers on the periphery constituted an impregnable defense, and the troops inside continued to exert their terrifying attack power. The Yellow Turbans were often wiped out by elemental bows and spells before they could even rush to the shields, and after a few rounds, the Yellow Turbans suffered heavy losses, but the forbidden army suffered almost no damage.
In this regard, the Yellow Turban Army also began to think about countermeasures, and began to concentrate on the soldiers who knew how to spell, and launched a joint spell attack on the forbidden army, but the Yellow Turban Army was not a professional magic force like the forbidden army, and the power that could be caused was not at the same level at all, and it was immediately countered by the magic troops of the forbidden army.
Seeing that the spell failed, the Yellow Turban Army began to concentrate archers to shoot at the forbidden army, although the Yellow Turban Army was mostly foot soldiers, but under Zhang Jiao's careful training in the past three years, the archers of the Yellow Turban Army also increased, although it still accounted for a relatively small proportion in the entire Yellow Turban Army, but when they were gathered, there were much more archers than the forbidden army.
However, as soon as they shot at each other, the archers of the Yellow Turban Army were fiercely counterattacked by the forbidden army, and they were surprised to find that the elemental arrows shot by the forbidden army were amazingly powerful and long-ranged, and immediately caused great damage to the Yellow Turban archers gathered in one place. After a closer look, it was found that among the forbidden army, there was also a crossbow unit, which was dedicated to suppressing the existence of the enemy's long-range troops.
The crossbow troops of the forbidden army can not only attack the archers in the distance, but also attack the magic troops of the Yellow Turban Army, so that the Yellow Turban Army hurriedly scattered and retreated their own archers and magic troops to stay away from the range of the forbidden army's crossbow arrows.
The Yellow Turban Army thought that this would make the crossbow arrow troops lose their target, but soon even the ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers also tasted the taste of crossbow arrows, this time the crossbow arrows shot over were even more powerful than the previous ones, one arrow can shoot through several Yellow Turban soldiers, look at it, it turned out that the forbidden army was equipped with several ballista cars, each car can shoot several crossbow arrows at the same time, although the time required to prepare is longer than the crossbow arrows, but the power is really amazing, for the Yellow Turban Army great deterrence.
But the means of the forbidden army are far more than that, soon, the dragon artillery troops also launched an attack on the Yellow Turban Army, they are equipped with something like mortars, loaded with low-grade spirit coins, and then gather the power of the elements in it, launch it, and fall in the Yellow Turban Army, a violent explosion occurs, its power is great, the range is long, every time the sound of the dragon cannon rumbles out, it causes great panic to the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.
Among the Yellow Turban Army, there are explosions under people's feet from time to time, which turned out to be the explosive runes buried in the ground in advance by the forbidden army, which was triggered and exploded, which was not as powerful as the dragon cannon, but it could often kill one person and injure several people.
After a while, four huge flints flew out from the imperial capital, and if a meteor fell, it smashed into the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, rolling out of four long pits, and wiped out many Yellow Turban Army along the way. This is the flying stone car of the imperial capital, different from the flying stone car owned by Zhang Jiao at the beginning, the flying stone car owned by the Great Han Xiuxian League has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been handed down to this day, and only the four that guard the imperial capital are left, the volume is very large, and it cannot be moved, but the power that can be caused is incomparable to Zhang Jiao's original flying stone car.
Zhang Jiao was surprised by the combat power of this forbidden army, and felt that he did underestimate the strength of the Great Han Immortal Alliance, but the matter had come to this point, Zhang Jiao was unwilling to give up, so he continued to order the army to attack, even if it was filled with more human lives, it was necessary to defeat this forbidden army.
With the passage of time, the fierce battle between the two armies for several days, even if the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army is strong, it is gradually unable to withstand the attack of the seemingly inexhaustible Yellow Turban soldiers in turn, although the battle formation is all lost, and the damage can be reduced by the method of sharing the damage among everyone, which is convenient for treatment and quick recovery, but when the degree of injury of the forbidden army cannot reach the degree of treatment, the forbidden army begins to have a large area of damage, and the last resort can only be to remove some seriously injured forbidden soldiers from the battle formation to reduce the overall injury of the forbidden army。
Zhang Jiao knew that the forbidden army was already at the end of the crossbow, no matter how strong they were, they could not resist the Yellow Turban army dozens of times their size for a long time, although the Yellow Turban soldiers suffered more heavy losses, more than 100,000 Yellow Turban warriors died in battle, the corpses were piled up into several hills, and there was a tragic situation in the world where blood flowed like a river, but Zhang Jiao didn't care, as long as this forbidden army was defeated and the Great Han Immortal Alliance was destroyed, there was hope.
The Yellow Turban soldiers are not afraid of death, showing their terrible belief in the Taiping Road and the great sages and good teachers, and the Xianhan Forbidden Army also does not hesitate to die, behind them is the weak water moat, there is no way to retreat, and they can only fight against the water.
Outside the northern city, the battle between the main force of the Yellow Turban and the forbidden army of Weidu is very tragic, with thousands of miles of blood, wailing all over the field, and the world is miserable, and in other directions, the troops of the princes are also engaged in a fierce confrontation with the attacking Yellow Turban Army, and the battle situation is also tragic, and the princes understand that if the alliance of the Great Han Immortal League is broken by the Yellow Turban Army, it will touch their fundamental interests, because as the officials of the Great Han Immortal League, and the Great Han Immortal League is a relationship of loss and glory, and the Great Han Immortal League will fall, and the next moment, it will be their turn.
In order to get out of the predicament, the Great Han Immortal League also sent several Yuanying Zhenjun to fight with the three brothers of Zhang Jiao, relying on the large number of people, they needed to argue with the three of Zhang Jiao, consumed their strength, and forced Zhang Jiao to retreat. But this is to no avail at all, the true yuan in Yuanying Zhenjun's body is as abundant as the sea, not afraid of such consumption, Zhang Jiao and the three of them can fight like this for at least three days and nights, it is really annoying, Zhang Jiao made a posture to lead the Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder, those Yuanying Zhenjun saw this, and immediately slipped away without a trace, they also spared their lives, afraid that they would die in the thunderstorm, and their bodies and spirits would be destroyed, so they no longer dared to provoke the three brothers of Zhang Jiao.
In order to eliminate the forbidden army guarding the imperial capital, Zhang Jiao invested a lot of troops and sacrificed many yellow turban soldiers, and finally, the protective battle array of the forbidden army began to collapse. Zhang Jiao saw that he could let the forbidden army return to the city, so he ordered the Yellow Turban Army to step up the attack and enter the city as soon as the north gate was opened.
The long sword and the big sword are striking at the wind, the sonorous sound of battle, endlessly, a sword is like a tiger out of the forest, and a sword is like a dragon in the sea. In the end, the shield troops of the forbidden army resisted the attack of the Yellow Turban Army to the death, allowing the troops behind them to enter the city safely, and in the end, all these shield soldiers were killed, and none of them were willing to surrender.
The Yellow Turban Army wanted to follow the forbidden army into the city, but was frantically blocked by the forbidden army, and finally the forbidden army soldiers worked together to close the north gate and destroy the pontoon bridge, so that the Yellow Turban soldiers who were still on the bridge fell into the weak water, dissolved in an instant, and disappeared.
Seeing that the forbidden army was defeated and retreated to the city, the troops of the princes also hurriedly retreated, so they stayed here, and the next moment Zhang Jiao would mobilize the main force to attack them, so the imperial capital Luoyang was completely surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army.
Zhang Jiao ordered the army to immediately attack the imperial capital, but the defensive power of the imperial capital's protective array was indeed amazing, and it was difficult to overcome for a while, but Zhang Jiao was not in a hurry, and just defeated the ace guard capital forbidden army guarding the imperial capital, although they were defeated and returned to the city, but the forbidden army still suffered heavy losses, and the remaining remnants of the army were difficult to pose a danger to the Yellow Turban Army, so Zhang Jiao could rest assured that he could attack the imperial capital.
Long Xiangtian, who had been in the distance, saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and thought: If Zhang Jiao really won the imperial capital, then the Han Immortal League will exist in name only, in this way, the future history will inevitably be seriously damaged, I don't know what terrible consequences will be, but at this time Zhang Jiao has the power of thunder, almost invincible, with him pressing the formation, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops are full of morale, all of them are not afraid of death, whether it is the forbidden army or the troops of the princes, they are not their opponents, I don't know who else can take him.
In fact, Long Xiangtian also understands that if there is a Yuanying Zhenjun or a Huixu Zhenyi who is willing to sacrifice himself to resist the thunderstorm, others will be able to take Zhang Jiao, but these are usually high-ranking existences, and where are they willing to sacrifice everything to serve the immortals, after all, the monks in this world can no longer be regarded as pure immortal cultivators, most of them have already given up the desire to cultivate into immortals, but are willing to enjoy life, up to the void, down to refining qi, no rank, everyone is the same, and where would they be willing to give up this hard-won life to fight against the power of heaven and earth that can make the human form and gods annihilated, and even the next life is not available!
